Last week our superintendent came to a meeting of people selected to work on aligning our curriculum to the Common Core Standards. He wanted to tell us personally that whatever had happened in the past, we were now to treat the text books as tools to help us plan lessons that help our students achieve proficiency on the grade level standards. The pendulum is swinging back. I was afraid that this day would never come. (He had to come because many of the teachers couldn't believe what the presenters were telling us) Teach? We don't need to be on the same page? We don't even have to use the same stories? (Someone even asked "how can we do that?") I faintly heard the Hallelujah chorus in the background and I had to stop myself from dancing in the auditorium.
